Study in Canada without IELTS
In Canada, Designated Learning Institutions (or DLIs – schools that admit international students) set their own requirements for the language proficiency of international students. This means that some schools have very strict requirements for English proficiency and other schools have very relaxed requirements for English proficiency. They want to know if International Students are comfortable working in English or French, but there are exceptions.
If you are planning to study in Canada, you should research the requirements for the colleges and universities where you want to study. Some schools, like Seneca College or Cambrian College, offer admission without IELTS, allow students to complete some English courses after they start at the school.

The Duolingo English Test (DET) is accepted as an international English language test in several countries, including Canada. You can take the DET online at home, as long as you have a reliable internet connection, a computer, a front-facing camera, a microphone, speaker and a supported browser.

2. Experience in an English-medium education
If you come from a country where the dominant language is English, then chances are you will be exempt from needing to take the IELTS.You can submit proof that you have studied in an English medium school for at least 4 years as the replacement for English proficiency scores.
3. English courses from English School
The candidate must complete an intensive English language program from an institute like English Language Institute or you must have completed two years of study at an English-language academic institution. Check out these options below:
4. Students from English Speaking Country
Most universities require the results of an international English language test that proves you are fluent enough to adapt to your course, as well as life in Canada. The first step is to check the language requirements of the college or university you want to apply to, and verify if your native proficiency is accepted. In some cases, the candidates from an English speaking country are also exempted from providing IELTS scores in Canada. You will likely be asked to submit copies of your grades from English class in high school (also known as secondary school).
